PrivateVPN is slowly moving up in the VPN market. Its six simultaneous connections, no logs policy, and high speed are what most look for in a VPN.
Instead of different subscription plans, PrivateVPN offers a single plan that users can subscribe to for 1 month, 3 months or 12 ...

One of the best services available!

Extremely fast (low overhead) and stable service! After +200 days without any interruption I had to disconnect just to verify that the connection wasn't stuck in a zombie state...but it wasn't...it is just that stable and reliable!

Did you know? We approve all user reviews. Companies can't pay to include or exclude any.

Best VPN service provider.... good customer service... i am new with this VPN thing, that is why I often message them for questions and concerns, they reply instantly! Thank you Kevin! I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends.

Quick and effective for my needs

The costumer service so far has been extremely quick and efficient, also the staff seem friendly and helpful and thanks to them the VPN works perfectly for what I need it for. There is only one bug in the app: before connecting to another IP you need to disconnect to the previous one, it doesn’t happen automatically as one might expect. Apart from this, worth the price!

Poor Customer / Support Services

While on vacation I subscribed to PrivateVPN. Completed the registration form, paid with my credit card, was issued a User name and choose a PW and received a welcome email message. Considering that I was unable to login, I contacted the Private VPN support team and received nothing but rude messages from an employee Services is not client oriented.

Regarding this issue

Here is the problem. You've contacted our support team regarding your payment you claim you've made. We told you there was no payment from you and asked you several times for a receipt. Instead of providing us your receipt you start to troll and insult us. We told you again, several times there is no payment from you and asked you kindly for the receipt but you kept refusing to provide us any receipt. When you told us that you've purchased 3 years plan we finally understood that you've bought a different service as we do not sell 3 years plan. But you totally ignored that and continuing with your trolling.
Now you write here that you were issued a user name and password. We do NOT generate any user name and password. That's something every customer choose when they make the payment.
1. You never sent us any receipt when we asked for it several times.
2. We do NOT sell 3 years plan
3. There was NO payment from your email address
4. We do NOT issue and user name and password for the customer.
You only have one agenda and that's trolling and insulting. The day you realize that you've mixed us with another VPN provider, I hope that you'll be ashamed of trolling and insulting us.

Will almost definitely keep it

I'm still inside the 30 days money back guarantee & I've enjoyed it most of the time. Had a technical problem which apparently had to do with my own iPad, but the customer service helped me & they're very nice. If the service & the switch of servers keep flowing I will definitely keep it.

It was very simple to set up. Every question was answered. And Kevin was there to help me with every question I asked within minutes.
I like the simplicity of the setup, the easy way it connects and within 10 minutes I had 2 devices all working with private vpn.

Great for the price

Works perfect for my needs. I recently had an issue that turned out to be on my end. Quick response and helped me find my issues.
I did a fair amount of research before dropping money on this. I kept seeing good things over and over about PrivateVPN. Their pricing is fair and competive, iOS client and mac client are simple and work well.

Quality VPN

I don't usually write reviews but based on the quality of the product and the expert responses to my queries I can safely say privateVPN is one of the best out there.
Having tried different VPNs and constantly cancelling with them, frustration was setting in. I then tried PrivateVPN and it was obvious from the start of the interaction that they were a cut above the rest. I am able to securely and privately use the internet and multimedia streaming is excellent.
My recommendation to anyone, don't follow the superficial hype that others come - prove it for yourself.

Easy Install, good Tech Support

Download and install was easy. Any questions that I had were responded to quickly and efficiently. And responses were from the same person, which is a pleasant surprise. The software works well, and the VPN performance is good too. The kill switch functionality was important to me as my internet connection does play up from time to time.

It works in other countries but not where we live.

PrivateVPN did not work for us where we live. However, Kevin at the on-line Customer Support Desk was extremely helpful and, after a lot of his time and ours, finally got us connected via OpenVPN which is great. Thank you so much Kevin!

Excellent service and outstanding support

The VPN service works perfectly, and is easy to set up regardless of operating system. The few times I've had problems or questions they've been answered within a couple of hours at the most, no matter how late in the evening or early in the morning, and even on Sundays and holidays.
10/10 would VPN again.

PrivateVPN and customer service

I always get the help that I need, and quickly. For some weird reason it's always night when I have to contact them, and I have the answer I need when I wake up, and if I have more questions the answers are always quick.The Only thing i miss is the live chat they used to have, but That's in no way any deal breaker for me.

Obnoxious Support, Stay Away

Obnoxious rude support. They make you feel like you're guilty for something out of your control when asking for help. Won't do any business with them ever after this insult I got without any warrant. Plenty of better VPN providers out there like ExpressVPN or nordVPN.

Selene

Obnoxious support - couldn't agree more

Absolutely dreadful. Raised an issue that particular site wasn't working, told problem was on my side even though followed all the steps and other provider IPVanish VPN did work. Avoid at all costs. Aggressive insulting customer care, if you read through all reviews you'll see I am not alone.

Could not be worse

Likely the worst customer service experience I have had in a decade. PrivateVPN makes comcast seem friendly and helpful. Finally had to open dispute with Paypal to get refund. Resorted to calling me derogatory names in email messages, so childish. Not any company I would ever do business with again or recommend.

Love the service

The service is up almost 99% of the time. Email support is friendly and prompt between time zones. I've used this service for at least 2 months now and will probably sign up for a year.
I like that the servers are located in Sweden because they actually have real privacy laws unlike the US.

Top quality first!

I first tried PrivateVPN back in 2012 when it wasn't that popular and been using it ever since. There are various reasons why I still use it over other providers: stability of the connections, located in Sweden (they don't keep logs), great support team and last but not least - now we can pay through Stripe.

The best service I have had!

I have tried several services before, they didn't let me down, but I can say that PrivateVPN is faster, has more servers and above all they don't keep logs. I do recommend them further to all the people I know they want to use such service.

It's Perfectly Smooth

It works very reliably, and the GUI client makes it easy to use. You push a button and it starts up. The speeds and connections are good. On the rare occasions there is a glitch, the support is helpful. There is an especially handy feature that automatically closes applications if the connection is lost.

I like them!

I've been using PrivateVPN for many years now. I originally went with their service since they did not keep logs of the VPN usage. I've been happy with their system and it has become consistently easier to use and better quality.
By easier to use, I mean that I used to have to use Google Translate to translate their website from Swedish and paying Krona's was a bit odd. But now the website is world class and payment is simple. Additionally on my Windows computers I used their VPN software. At first it was a bit hokey, but again it's improved a great deal. It is now very easy to select VPN end points and it is very stable. I have always liked the ability to "exit" specific applications if the VPN connection did go down. This provided peace of mind.
As for better quality. I find that they are always improving the breadth of the network (ie end points) and speed/quality of the connections. I have also found that during the times I use it I never have a problem.
Overall I like them and that's why every year I keep adding another 12 months.
Good job Private VPN.

ps. I liked your name better when it was privatvpn. It just felt cool.

It has worked well for me, good speed and the ability to shut down apps if the VPN loses connection

PrivateVPN ( Formerly PrivatVPN) has delivered excellent uptime and connection speeds while I have used the service. The feature to have browsers and torrent apps auto shutdown if the VPN goes down is a good privacy measure. Pricing and special offers have helped me keep costs low. It has worked well with a couple of different versions of Windows on my systems. I would recommend it to people looking for a personal or small business VPN for privacy and security reasons. I plan on continuing to be a customer for the foreseeable future.

Great service, highly recommended.

With scores of servers in so many different countries, censorship, IP bans, privacy concerns and geographical restrictions on content are a thing of the past with Private VPN.
I have been a customer for several years and have always found the service to be reliable and fast, with no nasty price hikes during my time with them.
If you're shopping around for a VPN provider then you might already be using one of the shady "free" services that I've seen advertised. Let me tell you that there is no comparison at all between slow, unreliable, advertisement or botnet (yes, some of those companies actually use your machine to mine bitcoins or perform DDoS attacks, that is how they pay for the bandwidth you are access for "free"!) and a subscription service like PrivateVPN which is reliable, speedy, has tons of servers, a choice of protocols and doesn't require you to install a custom client (you can connect using your operating system's regular VPN software!)
Furthermore, PrivateVPN doesn't restrict Peer-to-Peer at all, torrents can be downloaded at high speed and the company promises to NEVER LOG CONNECTIONS.
Can't recommend PrivateVPN highly enough, A+.

Great service easy to install and provides great online identity protection

So far I don't have any issues with the VPN, it was relatively easy to install and I was able to use it successfully for the purpose I installed it for. Thanks :D PS. the only issue I had with the install was that it seemed like some of the USA locations where not working.

Freedom to view websites wherever you are, with added security - at a low price

PrivateVPN is easy to use. With OS X it's as simple as a click on an app.
I was able to watch UK catch up channels abroad, and view websites that are restricted to locals.
Unlike many other VPN providers I tried, I found little or no loss in internet speed, which means streaming video was no problem.
Convenient, good and reliable service at a great cost.
Well done to the PrivateVPN team!

Fine at the beginning now bit pricey and not fastest speed

It was dependable and good service at the beginning. But it is a bit expensive now compared to other VPN services I use that are in Sweden, and I wasn't having fastest service/access to be honest. One thing I noticed was disconnecting from some servers at times.

Easy to install, easy to use and fast response from the support the few times I have needed it. The client is easy to use and I really like that one can set it so that it terminates another program (like a torrent client) if the VPN connection goes down.
Been using it mainly on a 4G connection now for a few years and see no reason to stop.

One of the best if not the best I've tried. Excellent service with great prices.

I've chosen PrivetVPN because they care about privacy and they don't log users IPs and activities. Apparently, not all of VPN services care about your privacy. And some of them do log users IPs, especially the free ones. So, be aware!
What made me choose their service is the free trial. So, I had a good chance to try their service, and the speed is amazing I have to say that.
And Yes!, They are operating under Swedish jurisdiction. which gives it a thousand plusses. And that alone can be enough.
Cheers,

Solid VPN - plenty of places to pick and decent app.

What's nice is that they've got their own app, so setup on different devices doesn't require tediously copy/pasting your preferred servers and settings out of a long list - makes it especially easy for less tech savvy family members to use. Occasionally there can be problems connecting, but usually picking a different location or server is fine. Hasn't been flawless, but as a whole, very good.

I am not a heavy VPN user, but PrivateVPN has worked every time, on all of my devices. Custom software for easy setup, good support guides, and my only experience with their support (change of email address) was relatively quickly sorted out.

Excellent VPN service

I've been using PrivateVPN for over five years now and it's still fast and solid service for my use.
They have a nice list of servers to choose from and rarely disconnects my connection. I've also tried several other VPN services but never found them as fast as PrivateVPN so I have always returned to their services.
Client is also easy to use with useful settings (connection guard and IPv6 leak being one of them). I have also tried the client on Android phone which seems to work well also.
They have also several payment options to choose from including Paypal and Bitcoins.
All in all I can recommend PrivateVPN if you need fast and steady connection for your VPN needs.

PrivateVPN has been a really reliable and fast connection with excellent service for the last several years for me.
They have great list of fast servers to connect to.
It's also nice to know that they respect your privacy by not logging the data traffic on their servers.
Their client is user friendly and it now has also an IPv6 leak protection which is a great addition.
Payment options are also nicely supported.

Best Provider I've Used!

Been using for a couple of years. Might be a few bucks more a month than other providers but it's worth it.
Excellent performance, and the policies regarding user data are comforting.
Swedish company so peace of mind that they won't be swayed into giving out your information.
Only downside is that nowadays you need to login on client side using email address Vs. username like in past, but I can respect why that decision was made.

Trusted and reliable VPN with great speeds

When I signed up for PrivateVPN, I was looking for a VPN provider that had a good track record, reasonable pricing, good latency and speeds. In my opinion PrivateVPN fulfill all those requirements.
PrivateVPN has shown to care about privacy (unlike other providers), they don't make claims they can't back up and are very transparent with their organization.
The pricing is good, a bit in the more premium segment but still affordable, even more so with the current 25% off if you go for the 12 month plan.
The speeds are great, I more or less max out my connection (500 Mb/s), however I have some issue with packet loss. I got around it with firewall rules to route traffic that's sensitive to delay/loss (such as online games) to another gateway. It's not optimal but I've had the same issue with many other VPN providers. It might very well have to do with my ISP, I will let that be unsaid.
Overall a 5/5 provider that's in the more premium segment but still has a reasonable pricing and care about it's users and privacy.

Perfect VPN for torrents; Stays connected for days on end.

PrivateVPN has several VPN connections all over the world that are fast and consistent. Another feature I like is you're able to buy it for a specific number of months, so I only re-up when I really need it. The price for 3 months is around $20 (U.S. dollars).
The connection hardly EVER breaks, and even if it does there is a connection guard you can enable to immediately terminate/disconnect your torrent client (as well as an automatic reconnect option). Highly recommended.

Great services and supports.

Your service is fantastic. I have a subscription with an internet movie provider and I was looking for a way to watch it while I am in Japan. Many VPN services claims that their services make it possible, but they were not helpful to make it possible although I tried some of them and none of them worked. When I asked for a help to PrivateVPN by email, I received a reply in a hour or so and gave me a hint. Since then, I have been enjoying movies over the VPN. I really appreciate the amazingly quick and helpful supports.
Thank you again.

I used OpenVPN every time I am in a public place. Sometimes that place blicks VPN, but Privatevpn offers service over the https port as well.
So in short, it works great!

It does what it promises

Use it when I need to. Speed is great and connections are (almost always) a snap.
There were some problems a couple of years ago but those seem to be a thing of the past. Updates are seamless and I would recommend this VPN to anyone looking to protect their privacy.

Fastest VPN yet

I have been quite impressed by the customer service for support and the performance of the VPN Service. When I had to contact support for an issue on my end they were very calm and helpful.
The inbound port forwarding worked straight away as well.
Was able to set it up on pfsense no problems, works great for P2P and streaming.

Fast and stable

I have used this service for several years. Tried others but none provided the server locations, speed and stability that these guys do. And competitively priced! Any issues I have had were answered promptly.

Would be 10/10 if Connection Guard worked.

Great choice of log-less servers, but the connection guard really sucks. I find that if the vpn drops off, half the time connection guard doesn't stop the programs so I come back to my PC to find out I've been on the net bareback.

Amazing. PrivateVPN is so easy!

Logs aren't kept,so nothing to hold over a user's head. They operate under Swedish jurisdiction, which is the friendliest to the open/secure internet. OpenVPN TUN with AES-256 + a 2048-bit DH key. Great client services. you just can't go wrong.

Stable connections, great privacy features and several location options

I have been using their services for few years now, and will continue to use it. I especially do like privacy features offered. Furthermore, do like several connection options and their speed in all connections. Keep up the good work.

Multi-platform product with great customer service.

Multiple platforms available, and clear instructions provided for installations. Customer service replies fast, and efficiently, whenever needed. Great speed, and good server locations. More servers would be a good addition, though.

Good, well priced VPN, can use some improvements

PrivateVPN is one of the better VPNs with the best features being the flexibility of payment (and being more affordable than other services), such as being able to pay on a tri-monthly basis, or for one month only, not a contract or a plan, so you have a peace of mind. The next best feature and ease of use of the app on MacOS and Android. These apps work well, with minimal trouble. I have been trying to find a service that could unblock Netflix and some other region blocked websites, and this is my pick of choice.
Some improvements I would like is just to update the applications on Android and iOS, as they look dated, and the speed of the servers are inconsistent. I find myself watching 1080p Netflix to 144p very quickly.

Very good and reliable way of streaming webpages abroad which are usually limited to host country

Pros: Connectivity good and stable.
Cons: system changed my original login name to my email. However has been unable to have my email as default in the app and every time I sign in I have to input my username.

Awesomeness at its best

Things just worked right out of the box, and for a few minor glitches I had at first, their customer service was amazing and quickly got things working for me! They truly are unlike any other VPN provider, and I have tried several. So far, PrivateVPN has not only met, but exceeded my expectations.

Reliable and Good Price.

I have been using PrivateVPN for about 2 years and have found it easy to install and use, and very reliable/stable. The support service is also good and there has been very little down time and the price is reasonable as well. I would recommend this service. Remember to change your dns settings.

PrivateVPN is a great choice for those valuing speed, reliability, options and privacy. Would highly recommend.

I've had nothing but a great experience in my past year using PrivateVPN, and have never been hesitant to renew my subscription. Speeds are always great, uptime is superb, and the number of locations available is especially impressive considering the low cost. I've also had nothing but great experiences with customer support on multiple occasions. Most important of all, I'm confident that my privacy is being taken into account.
When I began looking for a reliable and secure VPN provider around a year ago, I was immediately sold on PrivateVPN's service upon reading their website. Their offerings outmatch every other provider, and at excellent prices. A year later and I've never been disappointed, service has always been top-notch.
PrivateVPN has all the bases covered, and I would highly recommend PrivateVPN for everything you could need from a VPN.

A useful tool for searching with confidence

After a slight problem encountered on the first use of Private VPN, the version
was updated and since then it seems to be a reliable aid to secure internet use.
The well-designed interface is easy to use and set according the the user's
needs and the wide choice of servers helps to find alternate sources for
hard-to-find torrent files.

Works with Netflix

Works with Netflix most of the time. I needed to switch server only once. Speed could be better. Their PrivateVPN app is very easy to use, click and connect. I've tried IKEv2 and L2TP with Windows client, it worked without any issue. It's definitely worth a try!

It is so easy to use! With the app for mac I just choose from the menu the country I want to bounce from.

And not to pricy either.

Good value for Money

I have used PrivateVPN for several years and have never had any serious problems.

Reliable and supportive, with above average choice of connections

I have been using PrivateVPN for about 5 years and have seen them improve steadily, with more connection options and a better user interface experience along the way. The support, when I have needed it, has been quick and excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend PrivateVPN for individual users who do not want to learn exotic configurations and just want to get connected. I have used them successfully on Android, iOS, and multiple windows versions. Highly recommended.

I cannot recommend PrivateVPN enough.

I think it is a great service always on, with many servers around the world.

Have been with PrivateVPN for quite a few years and always seems to be working. Help support has always provided timely responses to my questions even though some may be outside the realm of VPN. I can use it with a few computers since I am not always on the same machine. The only thing that has not been 100% is the close programs if the VPN connection is lost. I noticed it with the last upgrade.
Not sure if it is on my end or not but that was the only thing that changed. It doesn't happen very often so has not really been an issue. I am very happy with the service and recommend it to others. Thanks, Kevin

Hello,
I have been using private vpn for a few years on and off. The fact that they have multiple server is priceless as I am traveling a lot. I also had an issue watching French programs and they actually helped to pinpoint the problem, change the DNS for their servers etc, to accommodate me.
Very nice!

Greatest VPN

I have tried a few VPNs but I have to say Private VPN is by far the best. The performance is amazing across my units, the after sales is second to none, nothing is too trivial for them to answer and help you with.

PrivateVPN provides clear tutorials for setting up your VPN using variety of technologies, so you can find a way to connect most devices.
The one time I needed technical support they were very helpful and resolved my problem quickly.

Great Value VPN

PrivateVPN is a great way to stay secure and hidden online and it is one of the cheapest options out there. I can connect to my choice of server around the world and connect quickly without any hassle. Connection speeds remain fast - I get about 20 MBps through VPN which is more than enough for browsing and small downloads.
The only downside of the service is that it does disconnect occasionally during peak times, although it does let you know once this happens. But for the price, you won't be able to get anything better.

I am very satisfied with PrivateVPN. It's the best VPN I've tested!

On a 250 mbit connection I get full speed. It's very stable and rarely loses connection. For those rare instances when connection fails, a connection board system shuts down user-defined processes (for example: torrenting automatically shuts down if connection is lost to the VPN server). Highly recommended!!! +++++

I use it for streaming. If your original connection is powerful (fiber), you still have bandwidth for video streaming.

I am very happy with Private VPN. Using it for a couple of years and plan to stay with these guys in the future. The most important benefits I have are: big variety of high-speed servers (it means that all the internet area is accessible for me now, no matter where I am now, either at home or traveling) and good quality of support (whenever I have a problem it is always solved within couple of hours or maximum days, which is acceptable for me).

Fantastic, plenty of options, hassle-free, and affordable.

I'm a satisfied customer who has been using PrivateVPN for about 3 years now. Plenty of servers all over the world, very stable connections, and a very easy-to use interface. Their prices are very affordable as well, so this is my top choice for a VPN service. Please keep up the great work!

Great user experience, ok price, great iser support

For now I haven't had any bad experience..my internet surfing and streaming is fast as advertised..I would recommend it to all my friends..the only one thing I notice when choosing vpn service was the lack of user reviews.

Great speed and many different servers available

I was very happy with my buying decision.
The only thing that I really miss is a Tunnelblick configuration. Instead, they come with custom apps.
Especially nice is that they are not blocked by Netflix yet.

Freaking awesome service

Easy, great instructions, fast! love these guys so far and I'm really loving this service too. I tried a few other services but they didn't have the directions to setup my VPN as easily as these guys. I really appreciate them so far and the price was right.

Love it, very reliable

Very reliable, never drops and speeds are always great. I love them!
I do occasionally switch servers to improve performance but they seem so much more reliable than other companies. Allow multiple connections too.

Works like a charm! I've had no issues with this service so far. No more snoopers or limited internet access. :)

This service connects extremely quickly. The setup was extremely easy, and so far I've noticed no bugs! I really enjoy the fact that I am not able to browse anonymously and access sites all over the world.
So pleased! Thank you so much!

Great service and not expensive

I hired the service because I got a warning from my ISP for using torrent protocol, so now I got all my traffic encrypted and the ISP doesn't notice that.
Amazing service, quick, super easy to install.

Great VPN, easy to use, very fast

I tested many vpns, this one is the fastest and most reliable one. All apps (mac/pc/iOS) work good as well, never had any issues with connecting to whichever server I pleased. Also the costumer support was very good, when I had a problem with manually setting up my connection.

Excellent VPN, very simple to use

Private VPN offers apps for mobile phones and computers that I use. I've used it for a few years. Essential now that the government is forcing the collection of your surfing habits.
The clients makes connecting to the service very easy. I highly appreciate the ability to connect so easily and bypass geographical restrictions on certain websites. Excellent value for money.

perfect service

I have been using it for years. They reply right away, works as advertised. Technical support is by people who know what they are doing, not a random person reading a script and telling people just turn it off and on again.

An excellent VPN service, works without hassle

If you a looking for a reliable VPN service, then PrivateVPN should be your first choice. I've used their service for almost 5 years at this point and I have never had an issue. In fact, their service has only improved with time, providing more options in how to connect, server location as well as general connection speed.
At this point, and this is true since a few years back, I cannot really notice any difference in my connection speed when I'm connecting through the VPN servers, and when I'm not. Also, when I needed some help in setting up a computer once, their customer service chat helped me out in an instant.
I really cannot recommend their VPN service more.

Top Quality and Reliable VPN Provider

Have been with PrivateVPN for a number of years and have never had any problems. There support is across an array of platforms as well as NAS drives and routers themselves.
Fantastic and quick customer service and would happily recommend!

A great product !

I am using PrivateVPN already many years on several systems: Acer mobile (Android), Mac OS, IPad. It is very stable and easy to use. It is worth the money that I pay yearly, because of it's reliability and flexibility. And, in cause of a question or problem their support always react within minutes.

PrivateVPN is easy and works!

I've never had an issue with their service and when I got a new laptop and needed help installing, their technical support was awesome and easy.

Excellent service! Very good

Fast and easy to setup, the application itself is easy to use and manage. It has a feature where every time I start my PC PrivateVPN automatically connects me so I don't need to manually connect each time I load up. No problems so far!

Terrific support, stable connection

Never had any problems connecting. Had an account problem, it ended up being a mistake on my part. Customer support was quick to react and handled the problem efficiently. Couldn't ask for more in a VPN-service.
Also they don't keep logs!

It is good if you have the right equipment

Help from the team was good. However, I had to get a different router. Cannot wait to get it set up in a week's time.
I have now bought an advanced ASUS router specially for the job and will be taking it to Greece with me when I travel again. All signs are positive at this point.

The excellent VPN

I am using PrivateVPN for almost 3 years and very happy with it. PrivateVPN don't keep your Internet logs and history, it's based in Sweden, a country where private life is a priority law. They support L2TP, PPTP, IPSec, IKEv2 and connection from different countries. With PrivateVPN your Internet surfing will be really anonymous, secure and enjoyable. Highly recommended to everyone! Oh, yes and they have a very friendly and fast support team ;-)

Very Reliable and fast service! Their customer service is top notch, and they have good support for all devices.

I have used PrivateVPN for a year, and only had one issue, which they helped me resolve very quickly. Have not been without service any time the last year, and their server selection is very good. They also have a server in Norway, which is nice. They have pretty competitive pricing as well; Will order another year.

Anonymity from Sweden

I needed a VPN to browse Euro Nordic networks and torrent a bit. PrivateVPN provides this with ease. The multiple IP addresses per subscription allow my mobile phone, laptops and home computer (multi OS) to all be connected at the same time using the IP address of my choice whether to stream some British, French, German, Finnish tv channels or simply have some ultra fast torrent via the links in Sweden. I was looking for a VPN about 3 4 years ago thinking I may hop to another one after giving this one a try.. I never had too, and still use it right now!

Great VPN

I found out about Private VPN in my country through pc magazine and it's really what they say and write.
Its cheap, you can connect to different locations, automatic... everything...
And the internet speed is really great , small difference.. I like the service! I recommended my friends and family.

the best out there with good reason

I have tried others but the truth is there customer service and respect for privacy outshines all the competition. Plus their prices are extremely fair - I recommend them wholeheartedly. Especially considering so many neither protect ipv6 and also keep record logs - PrivateVPN is the exception

For three years I've been living int the UAE and Private VPV has been used during the whole stay. It works perfectly and renewal has been easy. I've corresponded with support one time and the service was good.

Very good VPN

All works very well, sometimes it slows down but it could be internet by itself.
PrivateVPN people react rapidly in case of problem.
I'm using it permanently for all my needs, using it only on my MAC, the other ones are not using it.

Good, reliable, not the fastest and lacks live chat support.

The setup of the PrivateVPN was the easiest of all the VPNs I tried in the past and when doing the search for new VPN provider. The connections are stable running OpenVPN on my 2 routers and with the app. There are some things you have to be aware of: no live chat support, number of servers and countries is limited, the app is lacking options that the competitors provide. I would suggest going month to month for 2-3 months before you make your decision to sign up for longer term.

I've tried many, PrivateVPN is the best.

VPN is reliable! It is always there when I need it. The speed is pretty good, too, usually good enough to watch TV in the UK in HD. The selection of servers covers all the countries I want. Of all the VPNs I've tried (quite a few), I've found PrivateVPN to be the easiest to use and the most consistently reliable.

A very good VPS for the price

It worked pretty well for me. Decent speeds and it works quite well for me at home. Has some issues with the official client, but they provide config files for other third party clients. I'd recommend it for the price.

PrivateVPN - One of the best VPN services

What I liked best was how easily I was able to set it up on Linux (long time Linux user here). This, I think is owing to the open standards that PrivateVPN uses.
However, the experience of setting it up on my Synology Router AC2600 did not go very smoothly as the screenshots in the guides seemed to be a bit dated. Updating the screenshots would make PrivateVPN the best!

Reliable service and quick support when contacted.

I have used PrivateVPN for 4 years now and have never had an issue with it. It has never been down when I needed it. When I have needed support the email has been answered very quickly. I'm staying with it - I have tried others and this one is the most reliable I have found. Annual subscription saves monthly payment as well.

It just works on both mobile and desktop, and provides me the vpn services I need for both security and network software testing purposes.

Great service with great terms of service.

Windows client works very well. No issues so far, but I look forward to IPv6 support which was missing last time I checked (3months ago).
For linux it is somewhat tricky to set up the way I want it, vut using the OpenVPN TAP configuration file a bash script and a service to load and continously check that it is running makes it work very good on linux distros as well.
Their privacy concerns are good which is what I actually read the EULA to review and it was to my liking.

Great Service, rarely down

Works great most of the time, downtimes are very rare.
The connection works up to my full internet-speed (50Mbps)
Price-wise, it's not the cheapest, but the reliability, speed (and up to 5 connections at the same time) makes it worth it.

Fanstastic, fast, reliable and with various locations

I have been using PrivateVPN for a while now - started as I had specific conditions for the company location, protocols and encryption length. Ever since I have been extremely happy with the support and reliability. The fact I can connect multiple devices to my account also helps as I am using it on my phone and tablet as well.

It works with netflix

What really stands out with PrivateVPN is the availability of servers, and that it works with Netflix. I haven't had a single problem, setup took about 1-30 minutes, depending on the method you want to connect. It's about 1 minute with their app/software.

Preserves your privacy

I like how PrivateVPN has servers everywhere in the world and works to preserve your privacy wherever you go! It has servers in several locations in the US, Europe, and so forth. I can pick the closest location or somewhere else if I wish to be more anonymous.

Awesome sauce!

I have had some bad luck with VPN providers for one reason or another, but PrivateVPN stands out from the rest. Although they’re not the cheapest provider out there, you definitely get what you pay for. Their customer service is excellent, they support the setup, and best of all… It just works! Their Android platform is simple, easy, and straight-forward to use, and their die hard reliability is nothing short of impressive. My only regret is that I did not find these guys sooner. Port forwarding works beautifully from one of their port forwarding enabled servers, simply by connecting with TAP rather than TUN on those servers. When the service is there, and the customer service is too, it’s well worth the extra few bucks that they charge over their competition.

Reliable, fast, secure and great support!

I have been using PrivateVPN for about 2 years and the service has always been fast and reliable. When I joined they only had a basic client for windows, since then they have built new apps for android and iOS and improved the windows app. I have used the support several times as I learn how vpn works and what is needed to have a secure connection and they have always offered advice and suggestions. Great for torrents as well. Highly recommend!

PrivateVPN does what it says on the tin

It worked immediately after downloading and installing. But after a day or so, it refused to connect. I got in contact with PrivateVPN by email late one evening, and by the next morning there was their reply, giving a simple solution with a link to add an additional file. So then I was back in business.
Yes, PrivateVPN works, and their technical support is excellent. Go for it (especially if you can get a special offer price)!

Great service overall. All apps work smoothly.

I have been using PrivateVPN for quite a long time now. I am a long-life learner, keen on languages and love watching TV shows and movies in other countries.
In most of the cases, I need to watch shows with a local IP and I found PrivateVPN one of the very best options.
They have apps for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac. They all work smoothly.
And in case you have issues, they are willing to help. They answer really fast!
So, if you are looking for this type of service, please do not hesitate and go for it.
Cheers!

How to use PrivateVPN 4.8 / 5.0

Installation of desktop and mobile application takes less than a minute; once you accept the privacy policy and download the software, it takes a minute to install. Their website also offers guides on how to set up their VPN on other devices.

Mobile download:

Go to Google app store to install mobile application; no special permission is required

15 Months

3 Months

1 Month

PrivateVPN accepts different methods of payment including Bitcoins, PayPal and a variety of credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, JCB, Discover and Diners Club international.

A standard pricing plan is available with the option to subscribe for 1 month, 3 months or 12 months. All three plans offer the same features but the longer the subscription duration the greater the savings.

Reliability & Support4.9 / 5.0

Support can be reached via email and live chat. When we sent an email to the support team about connecting to Netflix from outside the U.S. it took about 10 hours to get a response. Their live chat wasn’t available for two days when we wanted to ask about configuring a VPN, but once it was we received answers instantly.

The Bottom Line

Catherine Ablett

(Security consultant and online privacy enthusiast)

Reasonable Speeds and Good Reliability Equal A Good All Round Service

PrivateVPN is packed with great features including a competitive pricing plan, robust encryption for ultimate privacy and security, and a strict no-log policy. It is not only super easy to install; it also has impressive connection speeds and is perfect for unblocking Netflix.

Users can subscribe for the service anonymously using bitcoins. PrivateVPN offers value for money with its kill switch feature, DNS leak protection, support for six simultaneous connections, wide server network and true cross-platform compatibility.

Overall Rating 4.5

Overall Rating 4.5

Catherine Ablett

(Security consultant and online privacy enthusiast)

PrivateVPN is slowly moving up in the VPN market. Its six simultaneous connections, no logs policy, and high speed are what most look for in a VPN.

Instead of different subscription plans, PrivateVPN offers a single plan that users can subscribe to for 1 month, 3 months or 12 months. The longer the subscription duration, the more generous the discounts are. It also offers a 30-day money back guarantee, but we did not succeed in canceling our account. The only way to cancel your account and get refunded is to contact them on their “Contact Us” page. They said they would refund us within five business days, but we never received it.

That being said, the installation process is quite easy, and thPrivateVPN's Free Remote Help – which offers virtual help and installation via Team Viewer – is very unique.

PrivateVPN can be installed on Windows, Android, iOS and Linux, and it only takes a few minutes. We also are a big fan of its clean, minimalist website that is easy to navigate (whether in Swedish, German, Dutch, or English).

Like other VPNs, PrivateVPN supports a variety of protocols including OpenVPN, and their encryption is top-notch.

However, we were most impressed with its speed. We had fast speeds on almost every server, except in Hong Kong, and we accessed US Netflix without a problem using their New York server, but not Chicago. (We were also able to access BBC Live on one server but not the other.) Since there are no bandwidth limitations and no downloading quotas, we were able to stream video easily.

The only feature that falls up short is its customer support. While the team was able to answer our queries, the email took 10 hours. The Contact Form took 12 hours for a reply about a server issue, and when their suggestion didn’t work, it took another 14 hours for them to send the solution. This wouldn’t have been such an issue if their Live Chat was working, but it was unavailable for two days.

Overall, PrivateVPN is great for security, anonymity, and streaming movies, but its customer support and refund policy could be better.
